Wachovia 1Q03 Quarterly Earnings Report
SUMMARY OPERATING RESULTS
Business segment results are presented excluding (i) merger-related and restructuring expenses, and (ii) deposit base intangible and other intangible amortization expense. This is the basis on which we manage and allocate capital to our business segments. We continuously assess assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications to better reflect the true economics of our business segments. Several significant refinements have been incorporated for 2003. Business segment results have been restated for 2002 to reflect these changes.
In 1Q03, we incorporated cost methodology refinements to better align support costs to our business segments and product lines. The impact to segment earnings for full year 2002 as a result of these refinements was $(46) million for General Bank, $25 million for Capital Management, $(4) million for Wealth Management, $(3) million for Corporate and Investment Bank and $28 million for the Parent Segment. In addition, we have realigned the sub-segments of our Corporate and Investment Bank to better reflect the way we manage our corporate and investment banking businesses and to provide more clarity about the relative market sensitivity of the businesses. This realignment does not affect results for the Corporate and Investment Bank in aggregate.
In 4Q02 we completed our annual review of the assumptions related to the accounting for our pension plan obligations. For 2003, we are using an expected rate of return of 8.5%, compared to 10.0% in 2002; and a discount rate of 6.75%, compared to 7.25% in 2002. The changes in these rates, along with the impact of other changes in actuarial assumptions and plan amendments, will increase pension expense in 2003 compared to 2002 by $89 million, before consideration of any 2003 company contributions to the plans. These assumptions are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Pension expense in 1Q03 was $26 million compared to $3 million in 4Q02.
In 3Q02, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options effective for grants made in 2002 and thereafter. Under this method, expense is measured as the fair value of the stock options as of the grant date and the expense is recognized evenly over the vesting period. Assuming we were to continue our stock option grants at comparable levels for the next three years and assuming all fair value and vesting assumptions and outstanding shares remain unchanged, the after-tax impact on net income available to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share would be approximately $87 million, or $0.07, in 2003; $137 million, or $0.10, in 2004; and $150 million, or $0.11, in 2005. The impact in 2005 represents the ongoing annual impact given the assumptions stated above. The impact in 1Q03 was $19 million, or $0.01.

|
Net interest income increased 2% from 4Q02, primarily due to low-cost core deposit growth and growth in earning assets. Net interest margin of 3.86% was flat vs. 4Q02. The effect of refinancings and prepayments associated with a flattening of the yield curve and reinvestment in shorter duration assets narrowed spreads.

Wachovia 1Q03 Quarterly Earnings Report
In order to maintain our targeted interest rate risk profile, derivative positions are used to hedge the repricing risk inherent in balance sheet positions. The contribution of hedge-related derivatives, primarily on fixed rate debt, fixed rate consumer deposits, and floating rate loans, offsets effects on income from balance sheet positions. In 1Q03, net hedge-related derivative income contributed 49 bps to the net interest margin vs. 42 bps in 4Q02.
Average securities increased $867 million, due to purchases of assets in advance of anticipated 2Q03 prepayments.
Trading assets increased $1.6 billion, primarily driven by growth in the interest rate products book and growth in the corporate bond warehouse.
Average loans were up 3% vs. 4Q02.Average commercial loans were down $2.0 billion or 2% due to lower loan demand and credit facilities usage and transfers and sales of loans; excluding the latter, commercial loans were down $1.5 billion.Average consumer loans were up 12%, or $6.7 billion. Linked-quarter average comparisons benefited from net residential loan purchases of $1.2 billion in 1Q03 and $8.0 billion in 4Q02 (positive $6 billion on averages, excluding $564 million in mortgage runoff). There were no significant 4Q02 or 1Q03 sales, securitizations, or transfers of consumer loans. Excluding the positive effect of an average $6 billion in net purchases, consumer loans were up $720 million or 1% reflecting solid consumer home equity production.
Average core deposits increased 1% vs. 4Q02 as continued strong low-cost core deposit growth of 4% partially offset CD run-off. Seasonality and continued customer preferences for liquidity contributed to the increase. Average demand deposits, money market, interest checking and savings deposits grew a combined $4.4 billion, while average consumer time deposits decreased by $2.2 billion.Foreign and other time deposits declined $744 million vs. 4Q02, as growth in low-cost core deposits reduced wholesale funding needs.The following table provides additional period-end balance sheet data.

Wachovia 1Q03 Quarterly Earnings Report
FEE AND OTHER INCOME
(See Table on Page 6)
Fee and other income increased 5% vs. 4Q02. The effects of strong trading results in fixed income and equity- linked products as well as lower net principal investing losses were partially offset by lower market-related income from a relatively strong 4Q02 as well as lower securitization income. Fees represented 45% of total revenue in 1Q03 vs. 44% in 4Q02.
Service charges increased 2% from a relatively weak 4Q02 due to stronger DDA commercial service charges.
Other banking fees declined 1% due to lower mortgage volume.
Commissions declined 6% from 4Q02 largely due to lower retail trading activity.
Fiduciary and asset management fees were relatively flat vs. 4Q02. Assets under management increased $1 billion to $233 billion and mutual fund assets of $113 billion matched 4Q02 levels, as strong net fund flows offset the effects of lower equity asset valuations.
Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees decreased 25% from a relatively strong 4Q02, primarily due to weaker equity and M&A market activity.
Trading profits of $100 million increased $142 million vs. 4Q02 losses of $42 million. Improved trading results were primarily due to increased contribution from mortgage option trading activities and strong performance in convertible bonds, as well as lower credit-related losses in fixed income. Trading profits also included $2 million in trading account losses on credit default swaps hedging loan exposure compared to $23 million in 4Q02, as well as $31 million in 1Q03 losses related to liquidity agreements we have with one of the conduits administered by the Company compared to $25 million in 4Q02.
Principal investing recorded net losses of $44 million compared to net losses of $105 million in 4Q02. A reduction in fund losses was primarily responsible for the improvement.
Net securities gains were $37 million in 1Q03, including $46 million in impairment losses, vs. $46 million in 4Q02, including $47 million in impairment losses.
Other income decreased $25 million vs. 4Q02. 1Q03 mortgage sale and securitization income was $78 million vs. $77 million in 4Q02. Home equity sale and securitization income was $28 million in 1Q03 vs. $91 million in 4Q02. Net gains from market valuation adjustments on and sales of loans held for sale were $36 million in 1Q03 vs. $24 million in 4Q02. Revenue from other corporate investments declined $18 million due to lower market values. Affordable housing amortization expense decreased to $20 million from $54 million in 4Q02.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
(See Table on Page 7)
Noninterest expense declined 5% vs. 4Q02. Excludingmerger-related and restructuring expenses of $64 million in 1Q03 and $145 million in 4Q02, expenses declined 2% vs. 4Q02. (See page 35 for more information.)Intangible amortization was $140 million in 1Q03 vs. $147 million in 4Q02. $128 million of amortization expense represents amortization of deposit base intangibles and $12 million represents amortization of other intangibles.
Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 1% vs. 4Q02. 1Q03 pension expense increased due to pension assumption adjustments and incentives increased on higher revenue production. These increases were partially offset by 4Q02 severance and nonrecurring personnel costs totaling $42 million.Equipment expense decreased $21 million, primarily due to 4Q02 expenses related to investments in branch infrastructure technology and software.Advertising expense increased $16 million, due to increased branding activities.Professional and consulting fees were down $27 million, due primarily to higher seasonal billing experienced in 4Q02.Sundry expense decreased $30 million with no significant expense category driving the decrease.

|
Net interest income decreased 1% as a result of 4 bps decline in deposit margin and seasonality, partially offset by strong growth in low-cost core deposits and consumer loans. Average core deposits grew 1% reflecting continued strong low-cost core deposits growth of 4%, driven by strength in Money Market, and Interest Checking, offset by a 6% decline in CDs. Loans increased 8% due to increased mortgage, prime equity, and home equity line balances, as well as small business growth.
Fee and other income fell 4% primarily due to lower mortgage banking origination fee income. 1Q03 mortgage results included $31 million in net gains on $5.2 billion in mortgage deliveries to agencies/private investors and $28 million in gains on flow servicing sales. 4Q02 mortgage results included $40 million in net gains on $5.5 billion in mortgage deliveries and $18 million in gains on flow servicing sales. Service charges fell 4% versus 4Q02. Though debit card banking fees continued to show strong sales momentum, with volume up 10% over 4Q02, this growth was offset by a decline in ATM transaction fees.
Noninterest expense declined 3% with savings across the board on strong expense controls and lower volume-driven incentive costs. Excluding 4Q02 nonrecurring personnel expenses of $12 million, expenses declined 2%.

Net interest income was flat versus 4Q02. Strong loan sales and core deposit growth offset a modest decline in the margin. Loan growth was driven by a 5% rise in commercial loans. Core deposit growth of 3% was driven by growth in CAP and money market balances.
Fee and other income declined 1% from 4Q02. This decrease was driven by a 7% decline in trust and investment management fees, caused by weak equity markets and lower nonrecurring fees. The decline in trust and investment management fees was largely offset by a 10% rise in insurance commissions, driven by strong production in commercial property & casualty insurance.
Noninterest expense was down 1% as strong expense control more than offset higher pension and benefit costs.

Net interest income declined 10% on lower loan outstandings, primarily in the corporate loan portfolio and asset-based lending. Average loan outstandings declined $2.4 billion or 7% due to continued reduction in credit facility usage, cancellations/reduction of loan facilities by large borrowers, and the 4Q02 quarter-end transfer of $400 million in loans to loans held for sale.
Fee and other income increased $44 million, or 40%, driven by increased leasing and asset-based lending results, higher gains on loans held for sale, and lower losses on credit default swaps. Gains on loans held for sale were $42 million versus $14 million in 4Q02 and securities losses in 1Q03 were $7 million. Trading results included losses on credit default swaps hedging risk in the loan portfolio and were $2 million versus $23 million in 4Q02.
Provision expense was $103 million in 1Q03 vs. $160 million in 4Q02. 1Q03 included $26 million relating to $368 million of exposure transferred to held for sale, compared to 4Q02 transfers of $578 million resulting in $96 million of provision. The 1Q03 exposure transferred was written down to a carrying value of 81% of par. Provision expense was $77 million excluding the transfers compared to $64 million in 4Q02.
Expenses increased 10% reflecting higher incentives expense tied to increased revenue and lower loan provision expense.
Economic capital declined 6%, or $254 million, primarily due to the continued decline in loan exposures and improved credit quality.

Net interest income increased 4% on 19% deposit growth, primarily in commercial mortgage servicing.
Fee and other income increased to $282 million, up $80 million or 40%. Results were driven by strength in both Fixed Income and Equity Linked Products trading. These results more than offset reduced Affordable Housing revenue from the seasonally strong 4Q02, as well as weaker equity capital markets and M&A fee income.
Securities losses and trading profits are included in Fee and Other Income. Securities losses in high yield and asset securitization were $12 million in 1Q03 vs. $34 million in 4Q02. Trading profits were $117 million versus a loss of $19 million in 4Q02.
Expensesincreased 4% driven by higher revenue-based incentives.

Principal investing net losses in 1Q03 were $44 million, consisting of $45 million of gross gains and $89 million in gross losses. Net losses were attributable to both our direct investment portfolio and our investments in private equity funds, which accounted for $20 million and $24 million of net losses respectively. Net losses were lower than the $105 million net loss in 4Q02 primarily due to reduced fund losses in 1Q03. The carrying value of the principal investing portfolio at the end of 1Q03 remains unchanged from 4Q02 at $2.1 billion. The portfolio at the end of 1Q03 was invested as follows: 58% direct investments (33% direct equity, 25% mezzanine) and 42% fund investments.

Net interest income increased $108 million vs. 4Q02. The increase was due to increased income from hedge-related derivative positions and higher loan and deposit balances. Average loans increased $2.1 billion, primarily related to the purchase of mortgages for investment purposes in 4Q02 and 1Q03. Average core deposits increased $174 million.
Fee and other income declined $73 million vs. 4Q02. Securities gains of $59 million compared to $85 million in 4Q02. Mortgage and home equity securitization income of $49 million compared to $110 million in 4Q02. Trading losses of $18 million compared to a $1 million loss in 4Q02 and included $31 million in write-downs related to liquidity agreements we have with one of the conduits administered by the Company. Affordable Housing write-downs in Investment Banking are recorded in fee and other income net of the related tax benefit. This treatment is eliminated in the Parent for consolidated reporting purposes. Due to normal seasonality, this elimination reduced Parent fee and other income by $37 million in 1Q03 compared to $105 million in 4Q02.
Expenses decreased $35 million vs. 4Q02, primarily the result of higher technology expense in 4Q02 and a $7 million reduction in intangible amortization expense.

MERGER INTEGRATION UPDATE
ESTIMATED MERGER EXPENSES
In connection with the Wachovia merger, we have been recording certain merger-related and restructuring expenses. These expenses will be reflected in our income statement. In addition, we recorded purchase accounting adjustments to reflect former Wachovia’s assets and liabilities at their respective fair values as of September 1, 2001, and to reflect certain exit costs related to the former Wachovia. The purchase accounting adjustments as of September 1, 2002, were final.
In 4Q02 we began recording former Wachovia exit costs as merger-related and restructuring expenses in our income statement.
For the 12-month period following the consummation of the merger, these expenses were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments, and accordingly had the effect of increasing goodwill.
At the time of the merger announcement, management indicated that we would incur an estimated $1.45 billion of merger expenses. This figure was subsequently adjusted to $1.525 billion to reflect $75 million of additional expenses incurred by former Wachovia and First Union in conjunction with a hostile takeover bid. This amount included merger-related and restructuring expenses reflected in the income statement as well as purchase accounting adjustments for certain exit costs. Management now expects total merger expenses in connection with the merger to be $110-$125 million less than previously expected.
The following table indicates our progress compared with the estimated merger expenses.

(b) | | These adjustments represent incremental costs relating to combining the two organizations which are specifically related to the former Wachovia. |
In accordance with purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of the former Wachovia were recorded at their respective fair values as of September 1, 2001, as if they had been individually purchased in the open market. The premiums and discounts that resulted from the purchase accounting are accreted/amortized into income/expense over the estimated term of the respective assets and liabilities, much like the purchase of a bond at a premium or discount. This results in a market yield in the income statement for those assets and liabilities. Assuming a stable market environment from the date of purchase, we would expect that as these assets and liabilities mature, they could generally be replaced with instruments of similar yields.
